Legals rights for a 17 year old

To do what? To move out? Drop out of school? Join the Army?

Here's an idea - unless he's being abused (or any of you are), why doesn't he just stick it out for 6 months or until whenever he turns 18? That way, it'll be far less complicated.

It says to move out. So yes. & that would a whole year. Let alone its his choice. I asked for simple advice, not attitude. No one should have to put up with their unstable parents who run a drug house and do drugs infront of them , that is abuse in its own.

Is he attending school? can someone go with him to meet a faculty member there who could provide some advice?

don't forget to have someone report the drug house

that will be useful in and of itself

Well thanks for more information. Like eBeth suggested, has anyone reported this?

No she pulled him out. Of school to "homeschool" him. There were recent reportings of her boyfriend. But the police cant do anything to the bf, he said he can do meth in the privacy of his home...and he pushed my mother doqn and put her in the hospital and couldnt walk because the messed up her back. But she did not tell the police that happend she stood up for him..... She coul careless for the safety of her only 2 children that have stayed with her and they have had enough. They just dont know how to confront her..

It's better to consult with a lawyer first. There are many legal rights in this case.
